If both husband and wife are State employees, are they both eligible for twelve weeks of FMLA qualifying leave during the fiscal year?
Yes. However, a husband and wife may take only a combined total of twelve weeks of FMLA qualifying leave per fiscal year under the following situations: a) For the birth of a son or daughter and to care for the newborn child; b) For placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care; c) To care for the employee’s parent (not parent-in-law) who has a serious health condition. d) Because of a qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the employee’s spouse, son, daughter, or parent is a covered military member on active duty (or has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty) in support of a contingency operation.
